Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Nominingue escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nominingue in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
